Download CSV stopped automatically open with EXCEL

I was downloading my portfolio of Fidelity.com nightly in CSV format without any problems for over a year. All of a sudden it has stopped working. When I click on the DOWNLOAD link, I see Javascript:DownloadCVS() in the status bar, but I get no other Visual.

(I don't remember now if I used to get the ToolTip who asked what I wanted to do with the file or if Excel has just opened - probably the former)

I contacted the web support of Fidelity and, of course, they said that nothing has changed on their end. I even did some research to learn more about the content-type MIME type mechanism and tells them that they may have changed without knowing the content type and a text/cvs had to be in the response header. They said that they could not replicate with their FF or IE while she had a problem on my end. I know also that IE is not compliant as FF so the fact that IE works is irrelevant.

I discovered a workaround solution. The file indeed get downloaded. I just click on the download button on the top bar to quickly access the download dialog box, and then click the file. At least it's better than having to use IE to make it work!

Any ideas how I can still help out and get the old behavior back. I think I tried safe mode when it came first.

  • Someone has just a difficulty to stop to open with the home page homepage?

    I see that this problem is widespread, but some of the 'easy' patches are for computer geeks only. I would like to know if anyone could tell me how to get rid of the home page without delving into the bowels of my computer? I'm not writing software, and I'm not going to jump through hoops to try to get rid of this nuisance.

    There must be more people like me who look at some of these answers and think, 'What?'... especially when you see what you see apparently when you "walk through" the steps to correct this problem.

    I think that Firefox should address this personally, since it's their update that we screwed everything. Supposedly, updates are supposed to make us 'ready to take advantage of the latest speed, flexibility and security. Yes, good. How to fix this bug, Firefox? Instead of making your users solve problems for you. This is ridiculous.

    If no one can help me to solve this problem without having to get a degree in computer science, can someone tell me how to get rid of the update total? I'll take my chances of NOT being "ready to enjoy the last speed, flexibility and security.

    I'm sorry for the frustration, but it's just simply unacceptable. We shouldn't have go through it whenever we update. Thanks for any help!

    See? Complicated. I'll just live with it. Thank you.

  • Export datagrid offline mobile application file able to open in Excel

    I created a mobile application offline using Flash and I have a datagrid I want to export/save as a file (perhaps csv) which later opens in Excel.  I appreciate all help.

    I modified the file, you sent me, is simple to understand:

    1 - Addition of two variables 'CSVData' and 'csvHeader '.

    2. whenever you call a 'stop' event, you add data to the variable "CSVData" (variable that stores data in the body).

    3 added the "writeCSV" function when you want to save the file simply call this function.

    Note: I just added the variable 'CSVData' the event 'stopTimeCount1' for the test, do not forget to add other events.

    Create a new user account.

    a. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

    b. click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    c. click on create a new account.

    d. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

    If you are able to access it by using the new profile, access the link below and follow the steps to correct the user's profile.

  • Change/Remove "open with" program

    I inadvertently assigned a file type (* .shp) to open with Excel 2000.  The type of file open with 'Windows Shell common Dll' by default. How can I safely change the program "open file with" from Excel to the original creation of dll Windows Shell?

    Start by using this utility to unassociate the. SHP files. Then click on and open the value with
